Brick wall

Brick impregnation: protection for durable and beautiful facades

• Brick is strong but porous and vulnerable to moisture, dirt, and weather conditions
• Impregnation prevents damage such as discoloration, mold, and frost damage
• Suitable impregnating agents provide long-lasting, transparent protection for masonry

Why brick impregnation is important

• Brick easily absorbs moisture and dirt
• This can lead to:
  • Moisture problems and mold growth
  • Green deposits and algae growth
  • Salt efflorescence and discoloration
  • Frost damage and wear
  • Reduced lifespan of masonry
• Impregnation makes the brick water-repellent
• The material remains breathable (“vapour-permeable”)

Suitable applications for impregnation

Facades and exterior walls

• Protection against rain, wind, and pollution
• Prevents penetrating damp
• Reduces maintenance requirements

Chimneys and walls

• Protects masonry against moisture and dirt
• Transparent finish without changing appearance

Decorative and historic masonry

• Preserves color and texture
• Long-lasting protection without visual impact
• Ideal for older or delicate brickwork

Benefits of brick impregnation

• Water- and dirt-repellent
• Vapour-permeable and transparent
• Preserves color and appearance
• Extends lifespan of brickwork
• Reduces maintenance
• Choice between water-based and solvent-based products
• Differences in penetration depth and durability depending on product type

What to consider when choosing

• Indoor or outdoor use
• Level of exposure to weather and pollution
• Absorption and porosity of the brick
• Protection against:
  • Salts
  • Oil
  • Chemicals
• Surface must be clean and completely dry before application
